1. i have windows xp

2. nope this would be my first time rooting

3. yup im actually stuck at step 2, which is the "install drive"

4. ill let you know once we figure this out ;P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ran495:
sorry i dont wana sound spam-ish but any suggestions guys?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
ok, have you deinstalled adb from previous attempt to root?

if yes, then do exactly as said on tut, or for better help and assist, install teamwiewer and skype, add me glinac.dubravko and i will assist you remotely. Send teamwiever id and pass via pm, after we finish, you deinstall or change teamwiever pass

p.s. can you download files from tut?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ran495:
well the thing is i dont know if i installed it in the first place... looking at my control panel, i have the ff lg drivers in place:

LG SP USB driver

LG United Mobile Drivers

LG USB WML Modem Driver

I tried installing the downlaing the driver.msi file on the first page, but for some reason, after the "preparing to install" pops up... the whole thing just disappears so i think it doesnt install at all... im not really sure why...

but yeah i got the driver.msi downloaded and the root.rar file on my desktop already.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Puru.Ram:
few things i need to know

this is my first post in xda.... wanna know if i root my phone which is android 2.2.2

what will be my phone os version then...

if i end up doing it wrong can i make it work again....at-least without rooting

plz do send me the tut of rooting 2.2.2

rcypurusha@gmail.com
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] developer++:
You can root 2.2.2 with Gingerbreak v1.2. Do a search here at XDA and you will find the tutorial.

Rooting is the process by which you gain Admin privileges for your phone, same as in Windows where you have accounts with Administrator access. It does not change you OS so it will remain the same after you root your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
uninstall all. restart cpu, install driver.msi and try again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
i sent you email, maybe it is in spam folder, you will see my name in sender name. if dont, just transfer this file to sd card, enable non market apps in settings -> applications and install file. after that, run file and select root my phone. that is all about it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jabbeboy:

i finally got it to work on a diff laptop! Thanks so much!

Just another question, is there a way to overclock without changing the stock rom? im gettting attached to my current gingerbread rom...

an update to the kernel perhaps? let me know what you guys think! thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
overclocking can be done, just search market, kernel...? you need to use custom rom

Hey bud,It worked perfectly on my optimus one(With Windows 7) , So i would like to thank you for this excellent tool and guide.:)

And do one thing :

Ask the moderator to place this thread under Optimus one Android ROM development.:p

and bit of thing i faced that u didnt mention is that during Root process it asked me wheather to install "bustymod" something,which i clicked NO.and it continued then.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pavanbaw:
I guess it wont work on windows vista.

instead of trying it on windows vista and puting life of ur O1 on risk :D i will suggest u to try on win7/xp .

how do u think it will run then? :D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
Guys anyone here who can answer that quickly ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
every thing was ok

it said waiting for phone and at that moment i rebooted my phone.

Now when i switch on i have a extra app called superuser ??

and it asked me to install busy box but i dint, i should have installed it ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
So now finally, How do i know i have rooted my phone properly ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
It gets stuck on "waiting for device"… should i reboot my phone when this message is shown ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
do same thing as rooting, but select unroot instead gingerbreak in rooting options in program
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
Sure, superuser is root app, to see what app have superuser access. Install busybox ver 1.19, but i think it is installed when rooted
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
install app that require root, and you will see when run that app, small info msg will appear, "YOUR PROGRAM has granted superuser access!"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
you can try, but first of all check your pc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
hey bud !! please tell me have i rooted my phone properly ??

When i clicked on Root, Message came "Waiting for device" and at this moment i rebooted my phone, then the process continued and finally my phone was rooted. a message was shown asking install busybox to which i said no (should i have installed it?)

i am able to uninstall sys Apps now by using Root uninstaller. so is my rooted properly??

i Also used root checker and it said your phone is rooted !!

please reply !!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
yep!! This message is been shown !!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
i am using root checker.. it shows rooted successfully but busy box is not installed correctly !! ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
Final doubt !!

okay this is my last question, Sorry if it sounds silly and if i am a little irritating :P

Now if i perform a hard reset after my phone is rooted what happens ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
that is it, just install busybox, it will add some unix like features. download busybox installer from market. I hope that you have superuser app in phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
phone remains rooted after hard reset
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
yes!! I have installed both (Super user as well as busybox), Now how do i increase the performance of my phone so that i can play high end games, and also how do i install new ROMS??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dubravk0:
dude, google a bit... you have many many many themes about that in forum, dont spam thread :mad:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] IamIrene:
thanks for teaching :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wrsg:
totally confused, i followed the instructions on the first post, Superoneclick worked and said my phone is rooted. I updated Superuser from Market, then tried running Root checker, it says my phone is still not rooted.... even though Superoneclick says it is!! and i have the log to prove it! (attached)

i even tried running something i found on the market called Superuser Update Fixer, but that also said i don't have root access.

busybox does seem to be installed and so is superuser (the updated version from market, but it would also FC before the update).

edit: yes i have had USB Debugging enabled throughout, and the ROM version is V20e, build number GRI40. i'm gonna downgrade to froyo and root it through that if this doesn't work. getting way too pissed off w/ gingerbread these days.

edit2: nvm got it working lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kannan66:
I don't understand what you mean by installing superuser and busybox separately. When u install superuser, it checks for busybox and installs it automatically.

You then have to connect to android market either through your data (which is slower) or wifi to update superuser (su will get updated automatically).

Next download rom manager from market and run it and press allow when it asks for superuser access. ROM Manager is needed to install custom roms and kernels

You now have two options to boost CPU performance.

1. The better but difficult one: Install a custom rom

2. Install franco's kernel (the version depends on whether you are on stock froyo or Stock gingerbread).

If you install a custom rom then the rom settings will allow you to overclock your CPU.

If you install franco's kernel over your stock ROM, then you need a app like SetCPU to overclock.

Read the XDA forums for guides to do all these stuff.

Good luck

You can update busybos by downloading busybox installer from android market
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] globeent1980:
Hey thanks !! Super user was installed automatically and busybox i installed manually, i just downloaded setcpu and it shows max 600mhz. I know i have to install kernel

Now can you give me a link as to how i should go about installing it ?? i rooted the the phone when it had the official Lg 2.3 update (is this what u called stock rom ??)

so would this tutorial will help me root my o1 without bricking it (ofcourse by doing every step mentioned ?

and if I have to take my phone to service centre, then should i make a complete back up of 2.3.3 rom or should I restore 2.2.1 stock rom?

After hell lot of research finally i manager to install recovery using Rom manager (Which in fact was very simple) but now when i boot into recovery i get E:bad recovery ?? What is that ??

Should i take a back up of my original Rom ? which i have right now ??

And next just download kernel put it in Sd and open it Via Rom manager and kernel installed right ??

and then i can use Set Cpu to Overclock ??

Please tell me the good roms, kernels, recoveries and whatever other things i am missing right now for optimus 1 (will be flashing the rom for 1st time)

Most stable only

and also satisfies gamING NEED but i dont wanaa OC it that much so that the hardware gets blown or misfunctioned

and please if there us something there to stop the unnecessary apps running in the BACKground. EVERYONE HATES ITTT

just provide the list for the stable gingerbread ROMS AND other compatible with it

i have now new custom 2.3.3 ROM from Lg (its raping my battery backup) so I dont think I'll be needing to flash the new baseband to get gprs working

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kannan66:
If you need performance switch over to custom ROM...

JIT etc is already enabled there.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

gingerbread is more hungry than froyo in terms of battery. If you insist on being on gingerbread then switch over to custom ROM for balance of performance and battery.

I suggest mik's 6.57 rom and latest franco's kernel for which you will have to downgrade baseband.

If you do not wish to do that then install miks 6.6.1 + the matching franco kernel.

Don't install unanted apps and disable backgrounding from settings.

There is a huge section in the forum exclusively dedicated to Optimus P500.

Please go through them.

Hi dubravk0 ......"into your Terminal".....

What does it means ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kannan66:
stock 2.3.3. uses a new baseband.

For performance, I suggest you use mik's 6.6.1 ROM and the latest kernel from franco. Franco has released a new stable kernel for mik's 6.6.1 ROM and stock LG ROM 2.3.3 ROM.

To install mik's 6.6.1 ROM you need to reflash the old baseband or reinstall froyo via the KDZ update route, root the phone again and install custom ROM/kernels

If you want to continue with new baseband try the following link

Part manual root

I tried the method without doing a factory reset. While running Superoneclick with GingerBreak, it got stuck at mounting stage and came out with message as FAILED.

I ran an adb shell and behold, there was a # ! That is good for me as I can do the rest easily. Thanks to the tutorials available in this forum.

So I manually pushed the programs and enabled root. The steps are below if anyone is interested. You should take care of the paths of su, Superuser.apk and busybox in the push commands. Better run with adb folder in your path environment variable, and run from command prompt after change dir to the folder where su etc are saved.

adb root
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
adb shell

Now you should have a # prompt.

Run a mount command to find out the block mounted as /system. For me, it was mtdblock1. I don't know if this is same for all P500s. Then,

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/bin/su
cat /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chown root.root /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
chown root.root /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

cat /data/local/tmp/busybox > /system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

reboot
